NJCounts 2018

All twenty-one New Jersey Counties will be counting individuals and families who were homeless – both sheltered and un-sheltered - on the night of Tuesday, January 24, 2018.This annual census is conducted by networks of organizations, agencies and others that plan community efforts to end homelessness and is coordinated by Monarch Housing on the statewide level.

The goal of the second Annual Homeless Sabbath is to engage as many congregations of all faiths to include readings in their service(s) held on December 15th, 16th and 17th, 2017, at their respective house of worship. Click here to register online to participate.

‘This is not just a Camden City problem, it’s a county problem, and a state problem,’ Lewis said in the NJ.Com Story. ‘They’re basically telling you ‘Which limb do you want to cut off first?’”

Examples were given about how the sequester was negatively impacting and could further negatively impact Head Start programs and the young children served and single mothers and other low-income households living in and still in need of affordable housing.

The forum encouraged Camden advocates who organized and attended the event. Monarch Housing’s CEO Richard Brown was quoted in the NLIHC article,

“Advocates and residents felt hopeless in their ability to move federal legislators to end the budget crisis, but this forum provided an example of how they can ensure their voices are heard.”
